Prince Andrew - the Duke of York - is embroiled in yet another scandal, following fresh allegations of inappropriate conduct from a woman who claims he made her uncomfortable through unwanted advances.
This latest accusation further deepens the Prince's tarnished public image, adding to his long history of controversies.
The woman, who spoke anonymously to The Sun, described the incident as occurring during the early 2000s when she worked as an events manager at a corporate event.
At the time, she was 24 years old, and according to her, Prince Andrew repeatedly engaged with her in an overly familiar and inappropriate manner.
“He wouldn’t leave me alone. As soon as he saw me, he darted over for a chat,” the woman recalled. “I was young, blonde, slim, and attractive, and he seemed more interested in speaking to me than the middle-aged female Managing Director,” she added.
The woman further described an encounter where she was dressed modestly in a low-cut top paired with a jacket. She was listening attentively to her MD when she noticed Prince Andrew’s apparent focus on her physical appearance rather than the business conversation taking place. “He was more interested in looking at my boobs than learning about our business. It was a bit creepy,” she stated.
This accusation emerges against the backdrop of ongoing scandals surrounding the Duke of York, including his association with a Chinese national now labeled a security threat to the UK.
Additionally, Prince Andrew has previously faced allegations of sexual assault from Virginia Giuffre, stemming from his connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. These controversies have severely damaged his reputation, and this new claim raises fresh questions about his conduct in both personal and professional settings.
The latest development is sure to attract further media attention as the Duke of York’s troubled public life continues to unfold. His response to the current allegations remains to be seen, and it is unclear how this will affect his standing within the royal family and the public’s perception of him.
